Conversation Two
對話二
Oh, where are we going?
我們要去哪兒？
I want to show you something.
我想給你看些東西。
I know, but what is it?
我知道，但是關于什么的？
A farm. It's just down this road. It's a small place, but at least it would be our own.
一個農場，靠近公路那邊，有點小但至少是屬于我們的。
A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
農場？我們怎么買得起？
It isn't very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn't have to pay very much right now.
不是很大，只有40畝。我們現在不用急著付款。
Is there a house on the place?
那地方有房子住嗎？
A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.
有一個小房子，里面有兩間臥室，但是有點小問題，需要修復一下。這個我能搞定。
OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
好的，那里有足夠的地方做菜園嗎？
There is about half an acre around the house. That's plenty of space.
有足夠的空間。房子周圍有半英畝地。
Then we can grow our own fresh vegetables. And maybe keep a few chickens, couldn't we?
我們可以種些蔬菜。也許還可以養一些雞，不是嗎？
Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.
是的，我們可以種很多糧食。
What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?
如果我們住那里，你想種什么？
Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.
那里應該沒有足夠的地方種玉米。我覺得我們可以嘗試種土豆。
Potatoes? There are a lot of work.
土豆？工作量很大。
We are used to hard work, aren't we?
我們已經習慣辛苦工作了，不是嗎？
Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It seems like a dream.
是的，但是錢呢。我們的錢夠嗎？這像是做夢。
I think we've saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too.
我想，我們已經存夠了。我們能支付農場的一小部分或許還能買一輛拖拉機。
